Grand Reopening of Town Park
May 23, 2024
Town of Herkimer Announcements:
Note: Town Park at 154 Pine Grove Road to be closed from the early spring of 2024 through potentially the end of June 2024 due to construction at the Park; dependent on weather.
What is happening at the Park: In 2024 the Town has contracted with Central Paving, Inc. of Frankfort to enhance the Park's features and attractions. The enhancements will include the installation of an eight-foot-wide, paved exercise trail along the perimeter of the Park. The trail will feature rest areas along the half mile route of the trail. Additionally, the enhancements will also include the installation of lighting for both the tennis and basketball courts, a storage building, landscaping and improvements in the fencing.
Additionally, the Town has partnered with the National Fitness Campaign to install both a Fitness and Studio Court. The Fitness Court is a world-class outdoor circuit training center integrated into a sleek 38'x38' square that can accommodate up to 28 people at once. With 118 elements, thousands of exercises, and a digitally-supported community engagement platform, the Fitness Court brings innovation to every exercise and state of the art weather resistant fitness apparatus and equipment to all while accessing personalized fitness programs on mobile applications through cell phones by scanning a QR code that is available on the fitness court's digital wall or via instruction by a certified fitness coach. And it's all free.
Adjacent to the Fitness Court will be the Studio Court. It is available for all groups to use for outdoor space group exercises and activities. Scheduling reserved times for use with the Town Park's Superintendent is highly recommended.
Town Park Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening: Scheduled for Saturday, July 13th at 11:00AM with details to follow. It is anticipated the facilities will be open to the public for use prior to the grand opening construction schedule pending.
